The ESAPI Swingset is a web application which demonstrates the many uses of the ESAPI.

Swingset is still under development, but will be available for download soon.

Download/Run

When the ESAPI Swingset is available for download, a hyperlink will be here. This download will contain everything you need to get Swingset up and running in a matter of minutes. No installation is necessary (assuming you have a Java JDK installed), just edit one line of a batch file or shell script and you're ready to go!

Download the JDK

If it is not already installed, please download a Java JDK version 5 or later. Tomcat, the web server you will be using, requires a JDK, rather than a JRE, due to the use of JSPs in ESAPI Swingset.

The Java JDK is available here.

Setup Swingset for Windows

Run Swingset on Windows:

1. Extract ESAPI_Swingset.zip to a directory of your choice.
2. Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to the directory to which ESAPI_Swingset.zip was extracted
3. Open Tomcat_6.0.18_start.bat with notepad
4. Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to a JDK version 5 or later. To do this, change the line "set JAVA_HOME=jdk_directory" to your Java install directory, where "jdk_directory" is the root of your Java directory. For many, the line will look like: "set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10". Please remember that Swingset requires JDK version 5 or higher. A JRE installation will not work.
5. Save the file

Running Swingset

1. Navigate to the ESAPI_Swingset
2. Execute Tomcat_6.0.18_start.bat. This can be done through the command line or by double clicking the file.
3. If you followed the instructions in #windows_setup Windows Setup, Tomcat should now be running
4. Open a web browser and navigate to [1]
5. You should see the ESAPI Swingset start page
